The Sustainable Choice

FAQs

A Victorian silver plate centrepiece is a decorative dining table ornament crafted during the late nineteenth century, designed to display fruit, flowers, or sweetmeats as a focal point for formal entertaining.

These pieces typically combine electroplated nickel silver bases with hand-blown art glass, such as opaline, vaseline, or cranberry glass bowls supported by cast legs or pedestals.

Authentic James Dixon & Sons silver plate features stamped makers marks, often including the initials JD&S, a trumpet with a banner symbol, or specific pattern numbers impression-stamped into the underside of the metal base.

Place the centrepiece in the centre of a dining table, atop a sideboard, or on a hallway console to serve as a focal point, allowing light to highlight the translucent glass and reflective metalwork.

Hand-wash the glass bowl gently with warm water and mild soap, while using a soft cotton cloth with non-abrasive silver polish on the plated metalwork to prevent wear to the silver layer.
